[sjc1969]

i have never done the thunder in the tunnels and am looking forward to it. Can someone tell how the route is organised etc as im a bit in the dark here.
Cheers
Steve

[cuzzaluva]

Steve,

Turn up underneath Canary Wharf before the sparrows wake up

Gander at fellow TVR owners cars and realise you're not an enthusiast as much as u thought u were.

Follow the TVR snake out of Canary Wharf

Lose touch

Get lost

Spot a TVR and rejoin the snake.

Stop at Blackfriars for a break

Prob head out on the A3 towards Brooklands.

Rest.

Some numpty volunteers, gets a street map up on the computer, adds his 30+ years knowledge of driving around central London and plots a route.

Said numpty then checks and writes out the instructions, with a map, printed directions and Tom Tom way points, and hands them out at the start on Sunday 12th May, or the day before by email.

Nutters from all over the southern half of the UK then congregate in their TVRs in the early hours of said Sunday morning (circa 6 am), bringing their mates, wives, girlfriends with them to read the directions as they drive, if possible.

The run starts from a large public car park with a bacon sarnie and tea/coffee van, and ends up at a large public car park with a loo. Both large car parks, as there will be around 100 of us nutters. Both photo-opportunities.

Two to three hours driving, as it is all at low speed due to speed cameras and limits.

The trick is for the route to go through as many of the tunnels of London, and over as many central bridges, and around as many famous London photo-opportunities as possible. The art is to make as much noise as you can in the tunnels, enjoy others making as much noise as possible, and vow to buy a noisier exhaust before the next time. You also get to ogle virtually every model of TVR made since about 1980.

Those who still have energy left then get back into their cars and toddle over to Brooklands (just inside the M25), pay their entry fee, park up on the historic banking, and enjoy TVR Car Clubs Day at Brooklands - more photo-opportunities, and possibly a chance to join in if I can negotiate one.

[swimmer27]

Can any of you kind TVR owners give a ball park time when you hope to arrive back at Brooklands?
I live about a mile from Brooklands but will be out morning to mid afternoon but would love to pop in if possible.

[seeby]

After TiTT 8 we arrived at Brooklands about midday IIRC.

yes, very amusing!

I am hoping to avoid some of the getting lost this time by handing out:
Tomtom way points
A map, with the route drawn on it
Printed, turn by turn, directions for the entire route, cross referenced to the map

The start will NOT be under Canary Wharf.

There will be a pee, chat and ogle stop at Battersea park, as last time, which will be mid-morning after the bulk of the central London part of the run - there simply isn't a better place for it as far as i can see
